Do we need to start the Sync Adapter service or framework starts implicitly? I have put a log on Constructor
, onCreate
, onDestroy
of Sync Adapter service and when I start the app, I don't see the logs in the logcat.
But when I do on activity onCreate
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, SyncService.class);
context.startService(serviceIntent);
I see the logs.
Please suggests.
Cheers,
Raj
Sync adapter starts explicitly by calling:
ContentResolver.requestSync(ACCOUNT, AUTHORITY, null);
or similar method:
ContentResolver.addPeriodicSync(
ACCOUNT,
AUTHORITY,
Bundle.EMPTY,
SYNC_INTERVAL);

I strongly recommend this book, especially first 200 pages http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Enterprise-Android-Programming-Android-Database-Applications-for-the-Enterprise.productCd-1118183495.html .
